Chapter 538 Fetching Water from Bamboo Basket

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 At this time, Chu Yuntai felt a little lucky in his heart. His men were too useless and they hadn't gotten Jiningtang into their hands yet.

If I get it, I must tell Chu Yuncheng now.

If you tell Chu Yuncheng, what will happen to him?

Chu Yuncheng is uniquely endowed with the status of a legitimate son, a powerful maternal family, the emperor's favor, and a steady stream of money. Telling him about Jiningtang is just the icing on the cake.

But for me, Jining Hall is the foundation of my future life.

Therefore, he would rather postpone it than tell Chu Yuncheng his true thoughts.

Chu Yuncheng's index finger gently clasped the table, but said nothing.

For a moment, Chu Yuntai felt so angry that he didn't dare to express himself.

He lowered his head, like a sinner waiting for judgment, and was extremely cautious at this moment.

Seeing that he was trembling, Chu Yuncheng snorted softly and said: "Since you are a first-time offender, I will not care about this matter with you!"

Chu Yuntai was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Brother Huang!"

Chu Yuncheng said quietly: "This private artillery workshop has been quietly established for five or six years. Presumably, the eighth brother also got a lot of benefits?"

Chu Yuntai: "..."

Although the private gun shop was quietly making money, it had been open for several years when he learned about it, and it was less than three years after he was full.

But what Chu Yuncheng said was so obvious, how could he argue?

You still have to suffer this dumb loss.

He reluctantly said: "In these years, I have received 50,000 taels of silver from the private artillery shop every year. I have spent some, and there are still 170,000 taels left. I will count it tomorrow and send it to the imperial brother!"

He himself is the real boss behind the scenes. Is there any year when the money earned by the private gun shop is not more than 100,000 taels? After excluding the cost and labor, it is also a net profit of 100,000 taels. However, because he is not running it himself, he gets 90% and the rest

10% of the income will be divided among confidants and related personnel, and each year they will receive eight to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

In less than three years, he got more than two hundred thousand taels, but it also cost a lot. He had to train people, cultivate confidants, and do secret things in private without being discovered.

Spend money.

"Only fifty thousand taels a year? It's a bit small!"

Chu Yuntai swallowed his anger and said: "Brother Huang Mingjian, after all, this is not my business alone. I only have a share. It is quite a lot to get so much in a year!"

"That's true!" Chu Yuncheng looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and said generously: "The 20,000 taels, my eighth brother, keeps the flowers, just send me 150,000 taels tomorrow!"

Chu Yuntai cursed in his heart, but looked grateful on his face: "Thank you, Brother Huang!"

Chu Yuncheng glanced at him: "If the fifth brother is not well-off, just tell me. How can I short-change you? It's not okay to do things in private and be reported to me by others."

OK. It’s also because I trust you, eighth brother. If it were someone else, wouldn’t there still be a rift between us brothers? Don’t you think so?”

How dare Chu Yuntai say no? He nodded repeatedly and admitted his mistakes, humble and cautious.

At the same time, he felt heartache, lung pain, liver pain, toothache, and pain everywhere.

To take out 150,000 taels of the money he had earned over such a long period of time was like cutting out his flesh.

After all the hard work, Zhulan was in vain.

Why did Chu Yuncheng treat him so condescendingly?

Even if he has private property, why should he give it to Chu Yuncheng?

It's just because now he is relying on Chu Yuncheng, so in Chu Yuncheng's eyes, he is just a subordinate, just a subordinate. Everything he has must belong to Chu Yuncheng. He must do it for Chu Yuncheng

Go through life and death to make a wedding dress for him!

Strong dissatisfaction and unwillingness surged into his heart. Chu Yuntai almost gritted his teeth, but there was a look of gratitude on his face.

After returning from Prince Ding's Mansion, Chu Yuntai was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He called back the people he had sent before and ordered them to do nothing for the time being.

He didn't want him to get Jiningtang into his hands, and then he would be making wedding clothes for Chu Yuncheng again.

Chu Yuncheng will not believe that he only has 50,000 taels a year in the private artillery shop. With his temperament, he will definitely keep an eye on him. It is safest to do nothing now.

While Chu Yuntai gritted his teeth with hatred, he comforted himself in his heart: Living under the roof of others, you have to bow your head. If a gentleman has a plan, ten years is not too late!

There is a happy event in Dingyuanhou Mansion.

Mu Manqi, the wife of the crown prince Qin Xuran, gave birth to a son.

However, what should make people happy is that he has obviously obtained his grandson in one fell swoop. Because of his own mouth, Qin Xuran, the prince of Dingyuan Hou, is still being laughed at even after so long.

For this reason, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is preparing to hold a hundred-day banquet.

Mu Manqi's life in Dingyuan Hou Mansion was neither good nor bad.

This time she gave birth to a grandson, and she also let out a sigh of relief.

Mother is more valuable than her son, and her life will get better and better in the future!

She spent so much effort to hook up with her sister's future brother-in-law, who is engaged to her sister, and they are marrying her sister. No one can challenge her current status!

Thinking again about Mu Qingyu, the abandoned concubine of Liang Wang who disappeared among everyone, Mu Manqi felt full of accomplishment.

Since she is beautiful, she naturally wants to let the people she wants to step on see her beauty.

Therefore, for the child's 100-day banquet, she coquettishly asked Qin Xuran to add an invitation to Mu Qingyu!

Qin Xuran didn't want to agree, but looking at his son's eyebrows and eyes that were similar to his, he finally agreed. But when faced with Mu Manqi's coquettishness, he actually felt a little bit overwhelmed.

It's strange to say that when he was engaged to Mu Qingyu, every time he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, what he wanted to see most was not his fiancée, but his fiancee's sister, who was delicate and soft, knew both cold and hot, and was pitiful.

Ke Li, Mu Manqi has a unique charm whether she is angry or smiling.

In fact, this feeling became more and more uncontrollable, so he started to use his brain and racked his brains to think about how to sleep with Mu Manqi!

Especially when the two of them finally broke through the window paper behind the rockery beside the lotus pond of the Minister's Mansion, he couldn't wait to marry him home immediately.

Therefore, Mu Qingyu is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and must be removed.

Then I really unplugged it.

He and Mu Manqi also got what they wanted.

The two of them were so happy at that time, they just wanted to be together every moment.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has a private courtyard in the city, and he and Mu Manqi have private meetings there from time to time.

After going back and forth, it finally became a firewood.

He also married Mu Manqi, and now his son was born.

Mu Manqi is still the same as before, delicate and soft, and especially pestering him. However, in his heart, he no longer has the thought of being together even if the earth is shattering and the sea is shattered.

It's not that he is fickle, but that he feels that Mu Manqi has changed.

Everything in her tenderness, her eyes, and her words made him feel a little fake, making him subconsciously want to escape!
